Three agents from Russia’s notorious FSB security service have died in Ukraine after eating takeaway food laced with arsenic and rat poison, according to a report.
A fourth officer was hospitalized after also eating contaminated food in the occupied city of Melitopol in the disputed Zaporizhzhia region.
The fatal mass poisoning occurred late last week, when a group of FSB officers stationed in Melitopol ordered food and alcoholic beverages delivered to their home from one of the local restaurants, Russian Telegram news channel Kremlevskaya Tabakerka reported.
Immediately after the agent polished off their food, the four were rushed to the hospital, where three of them died, and the fourth was left alive in the intensive care unit.
Since then, it has been determined, according to the outlet citing unnamed sources in the FSB and law enforcement, that the order to take out the victim was laced with a lethal dose of “arsenic and rat poison.”
It is suspected that “Ukrainian saboteurs” were behind the attack on the Russian invaders.

A search of the restaurant where the victim ordered food found no signs of poison, but the courier who brought it home to the FSB agent’s address had “disappeared without a trace,” the outlet reported.
Ivan Fedorov, the exiled Kyiv-backed mayor of Melitopol, confirmed the poisoning incident – and attributed it to the work of resistance fighters in an interview with a Ukrainian television program.
“The elimination of the enemy is carried out not only by explosions, missile attacks, but also by resistance forces,” said Fedorov.

“The other day, there was another group of enemies that was eliminated, namely the poisonous one. The Enemy Telegram channel also wrote about it: they ordered food in a cafe and after eating it, they were all poisoned, and some of them died.
“This is an effective resistance that continues in Melitopol even under occupation,” the mayor said.
The murder case also featured “mysterious details,” according to a police source on the Telegram channel. They claim that just days before the ill-fated meal, two of the targeted agents had opened an investigation into the secret burial of Russian Black Sea Fleet sailors in Melitopol.

It was reported last week how a grave found in a Melitopol cemetery was found to contain the mangled remains of 17 sailors, who were allegedly killed in an explosion and quietly buried in September.
The incident comes just weeks after dozens of Russian pilots escaped death after large cakes and bottles of whiskey laced with poison were delivered to the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School in Russia’s Krasnodar region.
